Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Problem of the Servants
The outer side of the world.
A netherworld that accepts the dead and the souls of the dead, a world of death where shadows are everywhere and the sun never shines in.
In the heart of the Shadow Country, this area is truly empty, and even the countless undead who are flooded with it dare not easily set foot in this area, because they do not dare, after all, this is the residence of the master who dominates this realm.
Standing on top of the barren and precipitous mountain peak, is a majestic shadow castle, on the top of the castle, the queen with long smooth dark purple hair, is quietly looking in a certain direction in the distance, while frowning gently without a trace.
She sensed that the Assassin's aura had reappeared, approaching the realm she had dominated.
It's just that compared to before, the obvious state has dropped a lot, and it seems to have weakened all of a sudden......
Of course, she knew what was going on, because although she wasn't too hopeful, after sensing the other party's movements, she had been observing them through her clairvoyance, paying attention to the other party's actions throughout the whole process.
Therefore, it is natural that he is very clear about the trouble encountered by the black-robed swordsman...... Despite the ominous events in that tower, it was a fact that the Assassin with the great sword had almost perished in it.
Clairvoyance itself is an eye that can see very far
The low-level clairvoyance only emphasizes the good degree of vision, the ability to capture distant targets at a very long distance, including the improvement and enhancement of dynamic vision, etc., while the high-level clairvoyance emphasizes the ability to see the past, present, and the future.
In other words, after reaching a certain level, clairvoyance often has the ability to see the future and the past, or to see through the present. Conversely, it means that if you can see the past and the future, you must be able to see far away.
Therefore, Merlin's claim to be able to see the current clairvoyance will be the most wasted clairvoyant EX...... After all, it stands to reason that clairvoyance above A level can already predict the future to a certain extent, and they themselves can also see what is happening far away.
Not out of the house, to know the world, is not much different from looking through the present, anyway, you can only see what is happening in other places now......
The same is true of Skaha, although she cannot directly see any corner of the world, but there is no problem in confined to the confines of Europe, and she can see farther away, and the island of Britain is naturally within her sight.
"Did it fail? …… Forget it, at least survive, being able to escape back is already a testament to the name of the crown. ”
The Queen of the Shadow Country, who frowned lightly and sighed, did not prevent the black-robed swordsman from landing on the Isle of Skye, passing through the gate of the Demon Realm, and entering her own Shadow Country, and deliberately opened a hole in the door that she had sealed.
It's like she opened the door of the sealed Demon Realm before and let the other party leave the Shadow Country. Although strictly speaking, Skaha actually felt that Assassin's behavior was not reliable, but he also had a glimmer of unrealistic hope.
After all, no matter what the other party says, he is also a crown-level assassin, and the legend of this rank is not completely impossible for the other party to do what he can't do...... It doesn't hurt to give it a try anyway.
As for the possibility that the other party may die directly, the result of being sent back to Valhalla is not a bad thing in the eyes of the queen.
If you succeed, you can easily solve all the problems, and if you fail, you will lose the combat power of a rider...... What kind of loss is this?
It's not that all the combat power of himself and the others combined, just has a chance to defeat the magician who stepped into the magic domain, because no one is missing, so the loss of a rider is a fatal impact.
The fact is that even if the seven crowned heroes descend together, it is impossible to say that there is a certainty of victory. So if you can't beat it or not, there is no fundamental difference between one and one less.
Instead of forcibly leaving that assassin behind as a frontal combat force for the decisive battle, bet on whether a miracle can happen when the wave is finally stud.
It's better to let him try to solve the problem directly through decapitation tactics through the field he is best at and the most professional means at the beginning! No matter how you look at it, the success rate of the latter is a little more worth looking forward to, right?
That's what Skaha thinks, and she looks at the whole thing from a more rational perspective than humans.
As soon as he opened the door that had been sealed by himself, he watched the black-robed swordsman relax and breathe a sigh of relief the moment he entered the Shadow Realm, and at this time, Skaha also noticed a subtle movement from behind him.
So, she gathered her thoughts, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already resolved the conflict, have you finally reached a consensus......
"Miss Skaha......"
Even if she deliberately slowed down, but it was still easily noticed, Fujimaru Rikka immediately smiled bitterly when she heard this, and this girl also felt anxious about such a situation.
Fortunately, what I didn't expect was that after the fifth North American anomaly last time, I actually saw Miss Skaha again in the sixth anomaly now, and got her help, otherwise, I don't know how it ended.
That's why everyone was able to get a temporary peace, knowing that this was the Land of Shadows, and they could sit down and negotiate.
The girl let out a long sigh and didn't hide her headache: "It's not a solution to the conflict, they are still very wrong with each other, and now they can only be said to have barely understood the situation, and before the ultimate goal of repairing human reason, they pinched their noses and put aside their grievances for the time being......"
"Isn't that enough? How much more do you want to go? The servant is not a faithful slave or servant. ”
The queen with long dark purple hair just smiled.
"Although the essence is still a high-level demon, it is not a tool that all magicians can use at will, they all have their own personalities and ideas, even if they can't continue to make history, but they are really no different from when they were alive......
"I know this, and I have never regarded servants as any tools, I have always felt that they are the most trustworthy comrades and companions." Fujimaru Rika hurriedly explained.
"That's right, it's the path you choose, so you have to face these problems."
Skaha said casually, she also admired the temperament of the last master of the human race, never gave up hope even in the face of fear, and always trusted the servants who relied on her, and made friends based on the principle of exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
This is probably the reason why she has so many connections, she may not be a qualified magician or a warrior, and her qualifications can only be said to be better than nothing, but only in terms of being a master, she is unprecedentedly good.
After thinking about it for a while, the queen seriously admonished: "If you want to repair people's reason, you can't do it alone, you must rely on the power of those heroic spirits, and there will inevitably be ...... in the future."
“…… I understand. The girl bit her lower lip lightly and smiled helplessly.
She knew what the queen of the Shadow Country meant, the heroes were heroes of other eras, heroes in legends, but they were often not the protagonists of a one-man show.
But it often means that the interpersonal relationships of the Heroic Spirits are very complex, and many times they can involve many people, and their entanglements in life are often very chaotic...... And there are some grievances that are not so easy to let go.
The small fights that used to be in the past often pass directly, and the hearts of the heroic spirits can be said to be very magnificent, not so small-bellied...... But anything can be swallowed, it is a complete dead person, and there are always things that they can never forgive anyway.
However, this is a problem that Rika Fujimaru has to face.
Because she will inevitably continue to encounter such things in the future, if she can't be ruthless, decisively choose to stand in line every time, cooperate with one party to directly eliminate the other, and solve the problem in this way......
Then we have to find a way to alleviate these historical problems, and strive to let the heroic spirits put aside their disputes and fight together.
After all, in the face of the ultimate goal and righteousness of human restoration, even enemies who do not share the same heaven must first put aside their prejudices, entrust each other behind them, and work together...... In this way, the child can have the slightest possibility of victory, so as to regain the future of mankind.
The enemy who called himself Solomon, the king of magic, was not a miscellaneous fish that could be easily dealt with, and if the Heroic Spirits themselves were still harboring their own ghosts and intriguing, it would really be hopeless.
"It's not like this hasn't happened before, but I think so...... They probably still know the priorities, and they all have a better view of the big picture......" Thinking carefully about what happened at the second peculiarity, Rika Fujimaru said as optimistically as possible.
"Don't take it too lightly, or you......'ll suffer," Skaha said, "I said, servants have their own ideas, their own personalities, they are not robots, their minds are changing......"
"......" the girl blinked in confusion.
"So, do you know about the Holy Grail War?" Skaha asked in a different way.
"You know, we're actually engaged in the Holy Grail War now, only on a much larger scale, not in a city or something, but in seven different eras." Fujimaru Rika nodded, although she was an ordinary person who was driven to the shelves, but after this period of bad supplements, she can be regarded as knowing a lot of common sense in the magic world.
"If you know, then you should know the source of the Holy Grail War, right?"
“…… I've heard it before, and it seems that it was originally a decisive battle magic used to save the world, and the summoning system that humans have reduced this ritual to for their own convenience is the Holy Grail War. ”
"Yes, that's true, but have you ever thought about it?" Skaha looked at her calmly, "Whether it's selfish or whatever, it's up to humanity to demote that ritual to a human affair, why would the Heroic Spirit still answer the call and participate in the Holy Grail War?" ”
"This ......"
"It's very simple, it's not just humans who are pursuing the Holy Grail, but the Heroic Spirits are actually pursuing the Holy Grail, or something in the Holy Grail War, which shows that they also have the desire to accomplish it, the regrets they want to make up, and the obsession they want to achieve......
